and he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
2 Samuel 11:20
it shall be that, if the king’s wrath arise, and he asks you, ‘Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Didn’t you know that they would shoot from the wall?
2 Samuel 11:21
Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Didn’t a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?’ then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.’ ”
2 Samuel 11:22
So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.
2 Samuel 11:23
The messenger said to David, “The men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field; and we were on them even to the entrance of the gate.
2 Samuel 11:24
The shooters shot at your servants from off the wall; and some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.”

Then David said to the messenger, “Tell Joab, ‘Don’t let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle stronger against the city, and overthrow it.’ Encourage him.”
2 Samuel 12:28
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called by my name.”
